Fort Vancouver National Historic Site is launching a new self-guided tour aimed at engaging dog owners with local history. The BARK Ranger tour is set to start on May 17, 2025, in Vancouver, Washington. This initiative is part of the National Park Service’s ongoing efforts to make its sites more accessible and enjoyable for a wider audience.
The BARK Ranger tour is designed to provide a unique and interactive experience for both pets and their owners. While the dogs can enjoy the outdoor environment, their owners can learn about the historical significance of the site. The tour is self-guided, allowing visitors to explore the site at their own pace.
The National Park Service continues to innovate and expand its offerings to attract a diverse range of visitors. The BARK Ranger tour at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site represents one such initiative, merging the interests of pet owners with the rich historical narrative of the site.
